Fackförbundet ST – Guardians of Democracy

Guardians of Democracy is a tribute to those who protect our rights.

The Swedish Union Fackforbundet ST and Kid Collective commissioned a 90s-style opening sequence, and we created a universe filled with anime nostalgia, complete with a specially written song. We meet three public sector employees who, empowered by Fackförbundet ST, transform into their true selves: Joanna the Justifier, Wilma the Whistleblower, and Ivan the Investigator. Together, they defend our democratic rights as Dr. Dismantle attempts to destroy and undermine society.

The team had the opportunity to dive deep into all the small details that make a production like this feel as authentic as possible.
